NORCROSS, GA. – A gunman walked into the Su Jung Health Spa Feb. 22 and shot four people before turning the gun on himself. Three of the customers and the gunman were pronounced dead at the scene, and the fourth victim later died in the hospital. The shooter has not been identified, though allegations point to a relative of the store owner. Norcross Police Captain Brian Harr told the Associated Press that the incident was “probably domestic-related.”

CHICAGO, IL. – An 18-year-old woman was found beaten and nude on a residential sidewalk after being sexually assaulted by approximately six men, a short distance from the Congress Theater in Logan Square. The victim was attempting to enter a concert, but was turned away when she failed to present identification. A theater employee said that she sat down in a nearby restaurant upon being turned away and was later seen leaving with a group of men.
